This event has ended.

Mixed Greens presents the third solo exhibition with Joseph Smolinski. Night for Day uses drawing and sculpture to explore subtle shifts of light, time, space, and climate in an effort to pose questions regarding the natural order. Smolinski’s drawings are markedly larger, his subject more expansive, and his craftsmanship exquisitely honed.

When researching for this exhibition, Smolinski was inspired by Albrect Dürer’s engraving, Melencolia I, from 1514. The finely detailed image presents a composition cluttered with the tools of technology—a compass, magic square, scale, and hourglass—while atmospheric and celestial phenomena illuminate the background. It is theorized that the title alludes to a belief in an artist’s imagination dominating over mind and reason.
